"Save as" dialog box issues

Post by Pedsdude » September 2nd, 2012, 11:54 pm

I've been having a few issues with "Save as" dialog boxes recently. I've tried to find a solution online, but so far have had no luck.

If I right click on an image, or link, and try and save it, the box pops up as normal, but it's completely blank. If I try and type any locations in the bar at the top, it says "___ is currently unavailable".

This happens in pretty much all the browsers I've got/tried. It's only specific to browser-related programs as far as I can tell (for example, if I open Notepad and try and save a file, that works perfectly fine).

Firefox:

Chrome:

And Internet Explorer crashes when I try and save images/links (the save as box doesn't even open)!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open command prompt, ("cmd" in Win7 search)
Type "sfc /scannow"

Hmm, it seems to be working perfectly fine today, despite me doing nothing to actively fix it.

Will do the above anyway, it's been a while since I did one of them ;)
